Oddly Enough

<p>Oddly Enough is a story of an Englishman who emigrated to Australia to 1959 to work as a teacher and subsequently as a psychologist university professor and researcher in which capacity he has established an international reputation for his work on how bullying can be countered in schools. This led to his becoming recognized internationally travelling and lecturing worldwide and receiving the Order of Australia Medal in 2021. </p><p><br></p><p>Oddly Enough is written as a flow of consciousness of events as they are remembered and reflected upon from childhood to old age. It is meant to amuse as well as to shed light on significant historical social and cultural issues of his time; such as social class; family life; schooling and education; attitudes to authority; Britain in wartime; National Service; emigration; university life; and adapting to the Australian culture. Finally it addresses existential questions on the nature of self and the sheer oddity of existence. </p>
